FC Barcelona have started their Spanish league campaign with six consecutive wins. The match against relegated Getafe did not seem like a very demanding task for them, although they were certainly not taking their opponents lightly.
Robert Lewandowski scores and FC Barcelona wins. This is how the La Liga table looks
As expected, the Catalans dominated from the start, which paid off in the 19th minute. Then Jules Kounde crossed and Getafe goalkeeper David Soria knocked the ball down so that it fell right into the feet of Robert Lewandowski. He couldn't make a mistake from close range and gave his team a 1-0 lead. The score remained unchanged after that, despite numerous attempts by the hosts.
What does this result mean for the Spanish league table? Barcelona remain at the top and have once again increased their advantage over second-placed Real Madrid to four points. Athletic are third, but they can still be overtaken by Atletico Madrid and Villarreal in the seventh round. Getafe, on the other hand, remain in penultimate position after their defeat, and if Las Palmas wins, they will fall to the very bottom.
